@Vitaly_Kiselev, one can only hope LOL. Pentax needs something (like RAW video) to draw people away from their EOSes and GHs...
Interesting part about vibration AA used in K-3 - http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/pentax-k3/pentax-k3A.HTM#pentaxaa
Of course, no raw video :-)
According to Ricoh Imaging USA, no RAW video.
K-3 is the most weird cam. That somehow can record at 4K in interval movie mode, but not in all usual modes. As I understand it is recording at MJPEG.
Camera also shoots 4K interval movies. Combine this with USB 3.0 5Gbit/s interface... Hmm..

Previews and such:
Camera is officially announced.
Ok that is pretty fucking awesome looking.
To be short, K-3 briefly appeared at Ricoh site.
When shooting scenes that include multiple light sources, such as sunlight and shade or flash, light sources are recognized automatically and the image is separated into different areas. White balance is adjusted separately in each area according to the different light sources to achieve optimal color reproduction.
Newly developed for the K-3, the anti-aliasing simulator* applies microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the subpixel level during image exposure, generating the same level of moiré-reduction effect as an optical anti-aliasing filter
Images of the new K-3 have been leaked and it looks like they've added some useful video controls to the camera. There's a separate switch between stills and video so while in video mode it looks like you use the mode dial to switch from P to Av, Tv, Mv and TAv modes. There's also a headphone jack to monitor audio.
And most intriguingly, the leaked specs suggest 14bit RAW output.
Image is about stills format, not video.
We'll have to wait and see if these specs pan out, but that would be pretty cool for those of us with Pentax lenses in our bag...
